About ME...

James Maher FCIPD,MRSPH 

 James is a Chartered Fellow of the CIPD, & Member of the Royal Society for Public Health. He works closely with HR Teams, Employment Lawyers, Trade Unions and Occupational Health professionals. He has held HR Roles at a senior level in several national/international organisations, most notably within the corporate retail, workplace learning and voluntary sectors.  Due to his extensive career as a senior HR practitioner, he has a deep understanding of the challenges faced by Line Managers and HR functions when supporting employees.

He is recognised nationally for his experience, knowledge & skills, and is an established judge for Awards International's UK Business Awards, presiding over their Workplace Wellbeing categories.

As an accredited instructor member of MHFA England, James also specialises in delivering MHFA (Mental Health First Aid) courses across all sectors. As a result of his professional experiences, he is uniquely placed to support business leaders in creating & embedding strategies which support the intent to create a mentally healthy workplace.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, as with the many millions impacted by needing to find different ways to thrive or survive, James has had to navigate the path of change & uncertainty. Much of his time has been spent raising awareness of the need to consider self-care & self-respect.

His greatest passions away from the workplace include quality time with those closest to him, long walks with Bella the black Labrador, collecting autographs in person for a collection that spans decades & the emotional rollercoaster that is supporting London Irish RFC.
